Happy International Women's Day! Following on from yesterday's list of 16 Female Creative Bloggers, today I want share the love for some of my favourite female illustrators. My original plan was to put together a list of my top 10 female artists but whittling my list down to that few was far too difficult so I ended up doubling it.

Each of the 20 women listed above have provided me with endless inspiration for my own practise as an illustrator and this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the amount of female talent we have in the creative industries. I have blogged about all 20 in some format in the past and plan on writing about them all lots more in future. After all, surely everyday should be International Women's Day.
